More SpouseBuzz News

SpouseBuzz gets a good plug from GX: The Guard Experience!

The folks at GX describe their mission:

To celebrate and support the Soldiers and families of the National Guard. To provide today's Army National Guard Member with information for becoming a better Soldier and better citizen. To encourage and assist Guard Soldiers in maximizing the benefits of their military career as well as their personal and family goals.

Stephanie Weichert of Military Advantage, Inc., at Military.com contributed the following press release, reprinted by the folks at GX:
